Key: CCapo 1English
(Spoken)
G I dedicate this song to the workin' man. For ev'ry man that puts in
Eight or ten hard hours a day of workin' toil and sweat.
He's always got somebody lookin' down his neck
Tryin' to get more out of him than he really oughta have to put in.

With Oney standin' over Ame
To-day D7when that old whistle blows
I'll check in all my gear and I'll Gretire.

My little get-to-geAther.

Ev'ry mornin' Oney waited at the Agate
